Artus Quellinus the Elder

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He has curly hair, a mustache, and a neatly trimmed beard. His hands rest on a small object, possibly a book or a piece of paper, and he wears a ruffled collar with a dark coat underneath. The frame is ornate, with swirling leaves and scrollwork around the edges. The bottom has fancy writing in Latin, which likely names the person and the artist. Next, look up etching to see how this print was made.
